Doha Academy provides a British-based education to its Kindergarten to Year 12 students. This is complimented by the provision of the Qatar Ministry of Education’s mandatory subjects: Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Qatar History.
Specifically, Doha Academy’s English-medium curriculum is taken from the National Curriculum for England (“NCfE”), which provides an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum from the ‘nursery’ stage of a child’s development until Year 11. The curriculum for Year 12 is according to the Advanced Level (AS / AL) programmes of study outlined by the approved external examination boards. Doha Academy is an approved Cambridge International Education centre (Cambridge International Education) and Pearson / Edexcel Education centre (International GCSEs | Pearson qualifications)
